    If you're only concern is having a .exe file, you can use a 'wrapper' too,
    and include the JRE lib in your installation dir (not very weird, more
    applications do that).
    I use exe4j for that, and it works very fine. You java application is
    wrapped in a exe file that is completely transparant to the user. It even
    shows up as your application in the process list of windows (rather then
    process java).
